Location, good security and the most amazing view of the mountains
Absolutely everything i will definitely be back
The view of the vineyards from the pool deck would have been magnificent if there had not been other guests staying in the adjacent room for whom we had been told by the host on arrival not to disturb. Geofrey (on-site caretaker and chef) was very accommodating and I'm sure would have made us a great breakfast (based on other good reviews) but sadly we never got to find out as on arrival our host informed us that our rate (high in comparison to other venues we have stayed in) did not include this!
Wellington Country House is definitely NOT child friendly. Apart from our 5-year-old daughter getting shocked by the waste high electric fence at the deck on arrival (this was before the host could instruct the kids as to where they could not go and to be quiet for the other guests) the amenities and decor relate more to a vintage character collection which needed constant adult supervision. For the price one would have expected breakfast to be included in the rate, but apart from the vineyard "view room" by the pool (which we did not stay in) the other three rooms are very small / dated and the 2 double beds not ideal for a weekend away. The linen (with stains) and pillows clearly need replacing and the carpet smelt musty! Possibly security is a concern as evident by said electric fence / security cameras (even inside the house) and the hosts insistence that we lock all doors and keep outside lights on. The host may also want to consider removing a few of the numerous "do not waste water" signs in each of the bathrooms, but the handwritten sign in red on the inside of the one toilet seat cover was unique to say the least!
Perfect location for our event. The staff member that received us was very friendly and helpful.
We were there for a bike race and with the bikes in the room it was a bit cramped.
Die Wohnung und die Einrichtung sind sehr liebe- und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück ist absolut super und Geoffrey, der gute Geist im Haus, ist ein sehr netter, hilfsbereiter und humorvoller junger Mann. Der Blick auf die Weinberge beim Frühstück und relaxen laden zu weiteren Aufenthalten ein. Vergessen möchte ich nicht die absolut hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, Mara, die mit Rat und Tat immer zur Verfügung stand. Sie hat sich aufopfernd um mich gekümmert, da ich gesundheitliche Probleme bekam. Auch ihre Empfehlungen für Aktivitäten und Gastronomie konnten sich sehen lassen. Also eine wirklich zu empfehlende Adresse. Vielen Dank Mara und Geoffrey für die schöne Zeit bei Euch
Gibt nichts zu beanstanden!!
This place was absolutely amazing. Everything was spotless and the beds were neatly made, which immediately made it feel comfortable and welcoming. The whole place has a very homey atmosphere, making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. The highlight was definitely the breakfast — the chef surprised us with an excellent meal that was truly delicious and such a great start to the day. We honestly wished we could have stayed longer and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting.
Die Lage ist wunderschön mit Sicht auf die Weinberge. Mara hat sich viel Mühe gegeben, dass wir uns wohl fühlten (viele gute Tipps bekommen). Auch das Frühstück war sehr gut.
Vom Zimmer waren wir enttäuscht. Wir haben aber auch (Familienzimmer, 2 Zimmer) das falsche gebucht. Unser Eltern-Zimmer war eng, in die Jahre gekommen und das Bad war separat im Gang. Es hätte noch ein anderes Zimmer gehabt, welches uns viel mehr entsprochen hätte, mit direktem Poolzugang.
Kamer was netjes aan alles gedacht. Warm welkom ondanks de pijnlijke schouder van de gastvrouw. Het ontbijt was heel goed en het personeel.een dikke 10 Zo aardig en beleefd.
Eigenlijk niks om te noemen.
Comfortable and clean room. Very pleasant breakfast.
The house is on the edge of a housing estate which is a little misleading and a car is needed to eat out.
The property is on the edge of town and the breakfast spot is idyllic! The view over the vineyards with mountains in the background is simply breathtaking! The breakfast was delicious and presented so beautifully. On a very hot day (37°C) a well working aircon is simply God sent. It is also wonderful to have a shower with proper pressure. Mara and Geoffrey are simply the best hosts! I will definitely be back. The fresh milk, juice, apples, and rusks biscuits are all beautiful touches that I appreciated very much. Check in was a breeze, check out even easier!
My room was perfect for one, but for two it would be a squeeze!
Schöne Lage und sehr ruhig, gutes Frühstück
Kaffee könnte besser sein
Nice view
Nice view
Geoffrey was very attentive,made us a great breakfast and we had everything we needed. Highly recommended.
Wij zijn er 10 dagen geweest en hebben echt genoten. De locatie is werkelijk prachtig. Uitzicht over de wijngaard en de bergen. Elke ochtend hebben we ontbeten met dit uitzicht heerlijk. De kamers zijn lekker ruim en de badkamer is echt groot. Er staan fijne bedjes bij het zwembad en het zwembad is ook lekker. En dan de gastvrouw, geweldig, wat een lieverd. Elke dag kregen we een berichtje met een ideetje om naar toe te gaan. Als er plaatselijk iets was , liet zij dit weten. En George is ook een schat, regelt alles op de achtergrond en kan de bedden opmaken als de beste. Kortom, het was fantastisch 🩷
Niet om te overdrijven maar ik kan zo niks bedenken.
After a long day-trip day the place was an oasis. Felt at home and host made a great restaurant recommendation.
Everything was amazing, far beyond expectations. The host is very friendly.

Es war sehr ruhig und man hat einen angenehmen und entspannten Aufenthalt. Jeffry macht ein tolles Frühstück und hält sich professionell im Hintergrund. Mara gab uns spannende Tipps für die Umgebung und hat uns auch bei einer kurzfristigen Buchung sehr offen empfangen. Wir würden wieder dorthin gehen.
Mara was an EXCEPTIONAL Host. Very helpful and accommodating. Mara gave great insight into the surrounding Wine Farms ... where to go for BEST Experiences. She made sure we were looked after both at the Guest House and surrounds.
Great place and an amazing host. Super friendly and helpful. Kid friendly and staff were so welcoming
Room was clean ready earlier than expected , breackfast was very good .
bed was short but I am tall
Those extra little touches... flowers, sewing kit, fresh fruit, rusks....
Good location and security, and very courteous and friendly host .
Basically a private house with bedrooms and pool, small room with basic furnishings and no vanity space at all.
Beautiful views
The host mara is very friendly and you can order breakfast directly made by her. Breakfast was very nice. The view is beautiful
Mara is a great host and her dog is lovely

Proximity to vineyards and views at the back. We got a free upgrade because of an issue with a tenant who had not moved out in time.
The feeling of being in someone’s house. It’s not our style. Also thin walls and could hear conversations next door and from kitchen.
The host and team there were exceptional.
That I couldn't stay longer.
Why Wellington?, but if you go there this place was super 🤗, nice and roomey, very friendly and service oriented host. Value for money👍.
We stayed for +-10days. The staff were friendly and they made us fresh lemon cake available daily that was really tasty and a nice delight and a special treat. I had a swim in the pool every day, which was nice and refreshing. The view from the deck was beautiful. Our shower was beautiful and big.
Our room was small with little space on both sides of the beds. Also, there is not a lot of cupboard space for longer stayovers. Not being able to use the guesthouses' kitchen to make breakfast was really disappointing. The in room coffee quality was cheap and could be replaced with Jacobs or a better brand. The room was expensive as it was a very standard look and feel room. I saw the room at the pool was much more modern and luxurious. It felt like we paid for a luxurious room but got a standard guesthouse room.
I really liked the friendly staff and the pool/location.
For the value of the price, our room was extremely small and it was even difficult to handle our bags in that space... It was our most expensive stay for the trip but simultaneously also the smallest. The staff was very nice and the pool/location as well, but in order to have lunch, you have to arrange that 72 hours in advance which we didn't know. So make sure you arrange for food well in advance.
The outlook over the mountains

It felt like home from home and the staff were incredibly helpful. The breakfast was wonderful - a home cooked breakfast. It couldn't have been nicer.
I liked everything.
Breakfast was great
Hospitality of the host, stunning view

Such a great stay. Thank you so muc. Beautiful and amazing attention to detail.
Breakfast was great and the service was excellent
Stunning scenery. I wish we had more time to sit and absorb the view. Staff were so pleasant. A great place to chill out and appreciate nature. Nice lounge and dining area for breakfast.
Would have been good to have some flexibility in check out time but it was Easter holidays so we understood the reasons why
Very comfortable and clean
Nothing, it was what we expected from the website
Fabulous outdoor set breakfast which was healthy ands tasty which was a perfect start for the day ahead. Attentive service and spotless rooms plus the host Mara was incredibly helpful offering advice and recommendations too visit including tourist spots plus restaurant recommendations. Also Bovril the dog was a delight and super friendly.
Some dogs barking I the morning from a neighbouring property plus my stay in Wellington just wasn't long enough
The country house was in an excellent location. It was a quiet quaint neighborhood. The welcome and attentiveness of the staff was amazing. Breakfast was also delicious. I'd definitely stay here again.

Location was excellent with great views of the surrounding mountain range. Mara the host was friendly and accommodating and made us feel at home. Breakfast was first class and the area was safe and quiet.
Nothing.
Breakfast was served outside, with excellent service and beautiful table setting. The breakfast included fruit and yoghurt, juice, coffee/tea, and a frittata.
If I was given a choice, I would have preferred an English breakfast, and not a frittata. Perhaps maybe a menu could have been provided the night before, where guests could have chosen a breakfast for the morning.
Everything about the place. The friendly staff, the lovely food, the cleanliness of the accommodation and the tranquility.
Nothing not to like.
Everything was great! The hosts are friendly and very helpful, the breakfast is delicious and the rooms are very comfy. Showers work great as well!
Beautiful accommodation overlooking the vineyards and very kind and attentive staff and owner, giving great recommendations for things to do in the area and making guest feel at home.
Nice breakfast on the terrasse, with wonderfull views. Very quiet area. Nice dog. Welcoming Staff
Room was rather small.
Relaxing and very friendly place to stay. Very nice staff. Always with a big smile and helping out. If you look for relaxing time - this is a place. We loved the pool and the terrace. Breakfast was very tasty and served with love. Thank you! Mara is a walking wikipedia - she knows her stuff =)
